When looking for nutty values of resistors and capacitors, remember that you
can use other values and combine them, with a little math.

For capacitors, put them in parallel and add their values for a total
capacitance. OR, put them in series and calculate the total value as (c1 X
c2)/(c1 + c2), or for three or more, (1/(1/c1+1/c2+1/c3)).

For resistors, same formulae but swap them for series/parallel (i.e., add
values for series, &c.).

Naturally if you are substituting several components for one, tolerances
(error) begins to add up. Best to check what you have with a meter.

Hope this offers another solution.

Subject: [motm] OT- 606 mods/ nanofarads?

sorry for the OT, but you guys always have the quick answers to tech 
questions.  i want to mod my 606 and have been looking at the 
waterson mods, and then the hyperreal pages, and there's even a post 
on there questioning the existence of nF caps.  i searched mouser and 
digikey for the 68 and 82 nF caps needed but to no avail.  what's the 
deal on this?  has anyone done these mods?  are there nF caps or is 
this another way of writing some other measurement?
